Questions for Your Tour

  • 2Could you walk me through the process for how family members can best reach nursing staff or administration when they have questions, especially if they are calling from out of town?
  • 3What is your current protocol for ensuring call lights are answered promptly, and how is that monitored to ensure residents are getting the assistance they need in a timely manner?
  • 4Regarding the dining experience, how do you handle individual nutritional needs or dietary preferences to ensure residents are enjoying their meals and receiving proper support?
  • 5Could you explain the system you have in place for medication management to ensure that doses are administered consistently and on schedule?
  • 6What are your current procedures for maintaining daily room cleanliness and hygiene, and how often are these areas inspected by your management team?

Key Review Excerpts

The bathroom was so bad in his first room that he slipped in the urine on the floor and had to go back to the hospital for x-rays!

Long-term resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

Her medication was usually late, the phones are rarely answered and when they do answer, you get transferred to another phone where they dont answer. She would have her call light on, but had to call me to try and get her nurse to bring her some medication for pain because her call light would go unanswered.

Long-term resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

This facility is over-crowded, a very old building (from the 50s!) makes me wonder what kind of buildings management works out of? I doubt they have to endure such terrible conditions. Awful food. Never answer the phone.
